Vuelta a España standings: Final results from the 2020 race

The 75th Vuelta a España 2020 has come to a close, with riders having completed all 18 from Irún to Madrid.

The race was tightly fought through the three weeks, but it was defending champion, Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) who came out on top, just 24 seconds ahead of Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers), making it the tightest margin of victory in the three 2020 Grand Tours.

British rider, Hugh Carthy (EF Pro Cycling), managed to pull off the biggest result of his career with a fantastic third place and a stage win on the famous Angliru climb.

He beat Irishman, Dan Martin (Israel Start-up Nation) to the final podium spot by over a minute in the end as Martin faded on the final mountain stage.

The green points jersey was also snatched up by Roglič, he took the jersey ahead of Carapaz by 71 points in the end with Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) being the highest placed sprinter in the standings.

The 'King of the Mountains' jersey was dominated by one rider after it changed hands multiple times in the first week.

Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) took the jersey mathematically with three stages still to go and won the jersey by 65 points over Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal) who gave the Frenchman a good battle.

White went to Enric Mas (Movistar), a jersey that he held from stage one finishing on the Arrate climb, all the way to Madrid completely unchallenged.

The Spaniard too the jersey by 4-09 over David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), who was busy taking two stage wins after falling out of GC.

The team standings, unsurprisingly, went to Movistar Team, a standing that has become synonymous with the team, but it was their only team victory at any Grand Tour this year. Lastly, Rémi Cavagna (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) won the most combative rider category.
